False, it should read, “Climate change could cause many habitats to be destroyed, leading to the extinction of many animal species.” D. False, it should read, “Climate change cannot cause habitats to be destroyed, and animal & plant species are not in danger.”

Answer 1

The statement ''Climate change could cause habitats to be destroyed, leading to the extinction of many plant and animal species' best describes the detrimental effects of climate change.

Climate change can lead to habitat destruction through various means such as rising sea levels, wildfires, deforestation, and shifts in precipitation patterns. These changes disrupt ecosystems and threaten the survival of both plant and animal species. Some plants may go extinct due to habitat loss, and this loss can have ripple effects on animal species that rely on those plants for food, shelter, or other ecological interactions. It is important to address climate change and its impacts on the environment to protect both plant and animal species and maintain the overall balance of ecosystems.
